Reality star Taylor Frankie Paul, known for her controversial behavior, has been faced with scrutiny following the release of bodycam footage of her arrest and failed sobriety test by the Sag Harbor Police Department. The footage, which was released late Friday, has sparked a new cycle of scrutiny for Paul, who had been set to headline the new season of "The Bachelorette" until the video of a violent incident involving her and former boyfriend Dakota Mortensen was published. The incident, which led to her arrest, was a major storyline in the first season of her reality show, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives." Paul has previously spoken about the incident, believing it was the result of an ectopic pregnancy followed by a chemical one and blamed hormones for her behavior. The decision to shelve the season of ABC's "The Bachelor" has faced questions about how Paul was allowed to lead the popular franchise and how to move forward with her tumultuous history.
